Generosity and making donations

It is my wish to share ways of bringing more happiness into the lives of people. If you would like to make a donation in support of Dakkhina Dhammathala, Southern Meditation Oasis, there are several ways you can go about it:

in person- via donation boxes

postal mail

electronic funds transfer from your account to one of our accounts

Paypal for international donations – please contact us for the details.

You can make a dedication when you make your donation, such as for a dear departed loved one, or any other dedication you wish.

You can designate your donation for any specific purpose. Without a specific designation we are free to use your donation for general expenses, monastic requisites or projects as necessity arises.

Now that we are endowed with local community support, together we have been able to revive the Buddhist Society of South Australia [see article about that here]. Through the BSSA we now have not-for-profit-organisation status and a bank account. We do not yet have tax deductability.

Dakkhina Dhammatthala is a Vihara of the Buddhist Society of South Australia.

'When a gift is given, it makes the mind serene. Gratification & joy arise,' one gives a gift with the thought, 'This is an ornament for the mind, a support for the mind.'
— AN 7.49

"These are the five rewards of generosity:
One is dear and appealing to people,
one is admired by good people,
one's good name is spread about,
one does not stray from the rightful duties of the householder, and
with the break-up of the body at death, one reappears in a good destination, in the heavenly worlds."
— AN 5.35

So when the world is on fire
with aging and death,
one should salvage [one's wealth] by giving:
what's given is well salvaged.

What's given bears fruit as pleasure.
What isn't given does not:
thieves take it away, or kings;
it gets burnt by fire or lost.
— SN 1.41

What the miser fears,
that keeps him from giving,
is the very danger that comes
when he doesn't give.
— SN 1.32

To offer Dana to the nuns, contact : Sujewa on 0451 066 341 or Chanaka on 0432 241 044

We will put your name and date into our Dana roster calendar.

You cannot put your own name into the calendar. If you try - it might look like it but it has gone into your calendar and we will not see it.

Anumodana!

Buddhist monastics have a rule where they are to eat before noon [1pm daylight savings time], so Dana meals should be offered by 11am to give time for blessings and eating.
